*MY THOUGHTS*
When I read Warcross, it took awhile for me to get into it. And because of that, I wasn’t really looking forward to this one. But now after reading it, I am so mad at myself for not wanting to read it!
The VERY BEST thing about this book was the plot twists! I thought I was thrown for a loop at then end of the first one, but this one was really a doozie. So many things happened that I didn’t see coming and I remember the only thing I could say was WTF. This was definitely a good thing because I was waiting and waiting for these in Warcross, but it didn’t come until the end. I loved Wildcard and finding out so much about all the characters.
The only reason I didn’t give this a full 5 stars, is because I would have liked to have seen more Warcross being played. I get that this one was more about the thing that Hideo was doing, I think this one should have had some of the games as well. Even if they were one of the characters other than the MC’s. It just would’ve been nice to be in the arena again.
Lastly, I loved the ending. It was a nice wrap-up to the series. Even with all the huge bomb drops, Lu still was able to wrap up all the loose ends. And let’s be honest, if you’ve read this, you know that couldn’t have been easy to do. And the epilogue was super cute too!
If you had asked me if I was excited about this book after I read the first one I would’ve said no, I can wait. But now after finishing this one, I’m glad I didn’t wait. I wish there was going to be another book in the series. I loved the surprises that this book brought and I wish we were getting more!
Overall, I give this
